Psalms 63

1 A Psalm. Of David. When he was in the waste land of Judah. O God, you are my God; early will I make my search for you: my soul is dry for need of you, my flesh is wasted with desire for you, as a dry and burning land where no water is;

大衛在猶大曠野的時候，作了這詩。 上帝啊，你是我的上帝， 我要切切地尋求你， 在乾旱疲乏無水之地，我渴想你； 我的心切慕你。

2 To see your power and your glory, as I have seen you in the holy place.

我在聖所中曾如此瞻仰你， 為要見你的能力和你的榮耀。

3 Because your mercy is better than life, my lips will give you praise.

因你的慈愛比生命更好， 我的嘴唇要頌讚你。

4 So will I go on blessing you all my life, lifting up my hands in your name.

我還活的時候要這樣稱頌你； 我要奉你的名舉手。

5 My soul will be comforted, as with good food; and my mouth will give you praise with songs of joy;

我在床上記念你， 在夜更的時候思想你； 我的心就像飽足了骨髓肥油， 我也要以歡樂的嘴唇讚美你。

6 When the memory of you comes to me on my bed, and when I give thought to you in the night-time.

7 Because you have been my help, I will have joy in the shade of your wings.

因為你曾幫助我， 我就在你翅膀的蔭下歡呼。

8 My soul keeps ever near you: your right hand is my support.

我心緊緊地跟隨你； 你的右手扶持我。

9 But those whose desire is my soul's destruction will go down to the lower parts of the earth.

但那些尋索要滅我命的人 必往地底下去；

10 They will be cut off by the sword; they will be food for foxes.

他們必被刀劍所殺， 被野狗所吃。

11 But the king will have joy in God; everyone who takes an oath by him will have cause for pride; but the false mouth will be stopped.

但是王必因上帝歡喜。 凡指着他發誓的必要誇口， 因為說謊之人的口必被塞住。
